National Suicide Prevention Month
September's observance raises awareness about suicide, shares key statistics, and points to local support resources.
September is National Suicide Prevention Month, shining a spotlight on suicide and its lasting impact on families and communities. On average one person commits suicide every 16.2 minutes, and about two-thirds of people who die by suicide suffer from depression.
